what i have so far is
intel i5 4670k
msi z87 g45
corsair vengeance pro 8 or 16gb
RM750w
corasir h100 or noctua aircooling
fractal arc midi hey i am swedish need to support them biggrin3.gif
sp120s for the case
and a nice black and red theme to top it of with all the black and red on the ram and mobo 
i also want a nice gaming screen, i am torn between ips and 144hz, dont know if i will appricate the benefits of 144hz as a casual gamer, the options are VG248QE and AOC Q2963PM(2560x1080) i like the resolution of this but......


any thought would be appriciated

kind regards björn

Looks like quite a well balanced system, maybe slight overkill on the PSU.(650w should be fine for 760 sli)

Also a GTX 780 would be better value for money instead of 760 sli, but if you already have one 760, then go ahead and get another  :)

My PC:


4670k      GTX 760 ACX      CoolerMaster Hyper 412s      Fractal Design Node 804      G1 Sniper M5      Corsair RM 650      WD Red 1TB     Samsung 840 Evo 120GB

That's a good build but there is the GPU thing... Is SLI 100% sure? You could save money on a cheaper motherboard (without SLI), a bit weaker PSU and you would have more expansion slots avaible on your motherboard.

You could consider saying with your 760, upgrading to 780 or this dual-760 card.

i am shopping in sweden, and budget is, i want the best bang for the buck, not super cheap and waste my money but not 1000 of pounds either, so just good value, hope this answers your question somewhat :D

I meant which shops you were using.

You said you were upgrading from an older system. 

Listing your specs could help if something from it can be reused.

To non-scandinavian guys here: Webhallen and Komplett have the best prices which are similar like everywhere else outside North America. Webhallen has got pretty much everything but komplett lacks some things - for example it doesn't offer ASRock motherboards.
